5. The lower level police staff demands money to file FIR suggestion: bridge the loop hole allow to register online FIR all across india . this is already been implemented at BANGLORE on pilot basis it should be implemented all across india. without online FIR system we all people feel helpless in india (observation: as we have seen in one case of UP even an IPS was also unable to lodge his FIR against a political heavyweight , even in a police station where his subordinate police officer was incharge recently .) so implementing online FIR system all across india , after strict third party online realtime varification is a very practical idea of future india
